Question

definition of movements and pressure groups​

Answer 1

Pressure groups seek to influence policy or public bodies. Usually they arise as the result of a social movement.

A pressure group is an organization which seeks as one of its functions to influence the formulation and implementation of public policy’ (Grant 2000) or

‘The field of organized groups possessing both formal structure and real common interests in so far as they influence the decisions of public bodies’ (W J M Mackenzie)

Unlike social movements, pressure groups usually have a single issue. Pressure groups are also more likely to be organised (formally) and have (registered) members. Social movements, on the other hand, tend to have 'supporters'.

Answer 2

Movement- a moment is an expression involving the product of a distance and another physical quantity, and in this way it accounts for how the physical quantity is located or arranged.

Pressure Group- a group of people, more or less organised, which tires to influence and pressurise the government in order to fulfil the interest of its members or the group interest in general.
